A man lies in bed illuminated by the blue-white light of his mobile phone. On the doom timeline, he scrolls past cute pets, outraged opinion pieces and creepy images from the world’s hotspots – and he feels absolutely nothing. Can’t Feel Nothing begins when director David Borenstein realises, much to his own surprise, that he himself has become a screen zombie. With great curiosity and refreshing humour, he travels the world to investigate how bad things really are. Who is pulling the strings when the internet makes us angry, sad, or just plain indifferent? And is there any way back? Borenstein meets an American internet troll, a burnt-out superstar in the Asian influencer industry, a cynical fake-news factory in Eastern Europe, Russian state propagandists… all in search of a digital rehab.
